Along with the fantastic The Resistance,
@Don_Eskridge has also created @HandGames21, games which require only hands as components! I decided to laminate them and put them on a ring to make them easy to take anywhere:

Game #21 from Hand Games 21: Who'd It Be?!

Final game of the project! A quick Guess Who style game using just your friends & acquaintances. Win by guessing your pal's person quicker than they find yours!

Have fun, and thanks for joining in on the journey of these 21 Hand Games!

Game #20 from Hand Games 21: Ruletto!

Try your luck & riskiest bets at the casino made by you and your frenemies. One chooses a number and the rest guess Even, Odd, or the exact number. Earn a higher payout by guessing the least likely. Your fingers-for-chips Hand Casino awaits!

Game #19 from Hand Games 21: River Sub!

You're the Commander of a sub, aiming forward to reach home base. Problem is, so is the enemy captain! Sail secretly, deduce their location & fire away. Reach the secret bases first and alive to win!

(It's 1D Battleship with cool rules)

[HandGames21 @HandGames21]

Game #19 from Hand Games 21: Starbase N!

Our second cooperative game! Due to space-time & continuums you MUST reach Starbase N in exactly 5 rounds. Also your brakes are mostly shot. Read your friends' minds and reach the base right at black hole o' clock! Rocket till you make it

[HandGames21 @HandGames21]

Game #17 from Hand Games 21: Nice Catch!

Liar's Dice meets hand games. All players hide a number (fish), then everyone tries to one-up each other guessing at least how many total fish are hidden. Outbid your pals but don't jump your bid too high!
Bluff & bid your way to victory.

[HandGames21 @HandGames21]

Game #16 from Hand Games 21: The Guardian!

Inspired from the classic game Mastermind: make a secret code and give your seekers just three chances to guess it. Up-Up-Down-Up, or other..? Uncover the mystery, and enter! A quick and cutting brain bender for all.

[HandGames21 @HandGames21]

After a small break we're back with Game #15 from Hand Games 21: Scapegoat!

In our third social deduction game, your goal is to silently communicate who the scapegoat is without them knowing. Eye contact, head shakes, and a big surprise! You got this.

[HandGames21 @HandGames21]

If you've ever played musical chairs as a kid you'll get this game immediately: just don't show the same number (sit in the same chair) as anyone else!

Fast to teach, quick & fun to play, you and your pals should be dancing to this tune/hand game already.

[HandGames21 @HandGames21]

Game #13 from Hand Games 21: Air Pong!

This is invisible Ping Pong! Just point out three zones between two players, yell the zone you're serving to, and wave a hand in that zone to defend while serving back. It's simple, fast and exciting, no-equipment Air Pong!

[HandGames21 @HandGames21]

Game #12 from Hand Games 21: Mirror Shield!

Like Rock Paper Scissors but a cut deeper & rockier. Choose to Zap, Hold Back, or Mirror Shield! Shielding is great but if no one zaps you, lose 2 Health! Last Wizard standing wins in this simple brawl that's learned in a min or less.

[HandGames21 @HandGames21]

@SugarPillGames Coolio :D

[HandGames21 @HandGames21]

@SugarPillGames Nope, that's written right ;) the board doesn't wrap around. That's just a clarification in case a player wonders if they have to have only 3 up in a row and nothing else, which isn't the case.

[HandGames21 @HandGames21]

Game #11 from Hand Games 21: Table Tank!

Shoutout to @DocPop & his game @KnifeTank for the idea to make a hand tank battle royale! Lay hands on table, move blindly, open & fire! Also, your tank gets stronger the more dmg you take ;)

So let's play! (and send game suggestions!)

[HandGames21 @HandGames21]

Game #10 from Hand Games 21: Hidden Ally!

A social deduction snack in which the Leader secretly chooses one player as their Hidden Ally, then they both do their best acting to not get caught! It's fast, has a cool secret code mechanic, and is very replayable. Give this one a go!
